A Psalm of David.

¹ ¶ Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

² Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

³ The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.

⁴ The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD broke the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ And He made them skip like calves; Lebanon and Sirion like the sons of the unicorns.

⁷ The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

⁸ The voice of the LORD that shall shake the wilderness; the LORD shall shake the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of the LORD shall make the hinds to calve and shall uncover the forests: and in his temple every one speaks to his glory.

¹⁰ The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sat down as King for ever.

¹¹ The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people in peace.

²⁶ ¶ Does the hawk fly by thy industry and stretch her wings toward the south?

²⁷ Does the eagle mount up at thy command and make her nest on high?

²⁸ She dwells and abides on the rock upon the crag of the rock and the strong place.

²⁹ From there she seeks food, and her eyes behold afar off.

³⁰ Her young ones suck up the blood; and wherever the slain are, there she is.

40 ¶ Moreover, the LORD answered Job and said,

² Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? Let him that disputes with God answer this.

³ Then Job answered the LORD and said,

⁴ Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand over my mouth.

⁵ Once I have spoken; but I will not answer; even twice, but I will proceed no further.

²⁵ ¶ I have spoken these things unto you, being yet present with you.

²⁶ But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all the things that I have said unto you.
